VARTA B18 Black Dynamic car battery

VARTA is one of the most recognized names in the automotive battery industry, originating in Germany over a century ago. The brand has a deep-rooted history in energy storage, having powered the first electric vehicles and even providing the batteries used in the cameras for the Apollo moon mission. Today, VARTA is synonymous with high-quality engineering and reliability in the European automotive sector.

The manufacturing of VARTA batteries takes place across several highly automated production sites. While significant manufacturing centers remain in Germany (specifically in Hannover), the company also operates large-scale facilities in the Czech Republic, Spain, and France to serve the global market. Ownership of the VARTA automotive brand has changed over the years; while the consumer battery division is separate, the automotive battery business was acquired by Clarios (formerly Johnson Controls Power Solutions) in 2019. Clarios is a global leader in advanced energy storage solutions, headquartered in the United States, and continues to produce VARTA products under their automotive division.
